Online comments: Religion Minister Defends Unregistered Marriage And Polygamy

“The fact that man knows right from wrong proves his intellectual superiority to other creatures; but the fact that he can do wrong proves his moral inferiority to any creature that cannot.” (Mark Twain)
Roland

They say they are protecting Indonesian women with their $50,000 deposit for foreigners to marry them. Maybe they should protect their women against fellow Indonesians. Think about how much money the government could generate with each marriage.

This is very confused logic. I fail to see how unregistered marriages conform to law if they put the woman and any children by her at a disadvantage, unless of course that is what the law allows — a marriage which is not based on a part n ership of equals before God, the law and society. Muslim marriages are that, aren’t they? A partnership of equals before God, the law and society.

Please don’t tell me in Islam women are second-class citizens. God made Eve from Adam’s rib. If he had made her from the bone of Adam's skull, she would have been his superior. If he had taken a bone from Adam’s foot, she would have been his inferior. But God took a rib from his middle so that she was created his helper and partner and equal. Different but equal.

MUI Called On to Issue Helmet Fatwa

With regard to the helmet issue. Really, is there any point when the vast majority of helmets offer about as much protection as a plastic bag?

Why are these laws always falling short of the intention? Get MetroMinis and angkots off the road and we’ll all be safer … and happier.

Malaysian Women Sentenced To Caning Speak Out

This is one reason why I would not go to Malaysia. And yeah, I drink beer a lot and I don’t want to get caned there. It is safer to be in my lovely country Indonesia. A country where freedom of human rights are upheld.
